Chapter 943 The Terrifying Ancient Phantom

"Where is this place, that it can birth such powerful demonic beasts?" Yang Youji, paled and startled, dodged a massive palm within the sealed land.

An hour prior, the four of them had encountered Wang Zhuo, the reincarnated supreme being of the Wang family, engaged in battle with several powerful beings. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Xia Xinyu, along with Dian Wei and the other two, traversed through the void. However, as they continued south, the situation grew increasingly terrifying, with an inexplicable and indescribable aura that made Xia Xinyu's heart palpitate.

After another half an hour of traversing south, the four entered a plain that stretched as far as the eye could see. There were no trees or flowers, not even a blade of grass. It was utterly devoid of life, as if it had been ravaged by a catastrophic war. The word that best described it was desolate.

Several hundred miles further inland, numerous bone fragments began to appear on the plain. They were all enormous, scattered across the land, and beneath each bone, a large blood-red formation pulsed with divine power.

The scattered bone fragments were of unidentifiable creatures, and the formations beneath them were bizarre and terrifying. As Xia Xinyu, Dian Wei, and the other two passed by one such formation, they felt a mortal danger.

"This place should be the outer perimeter of the Battle of Changsheng City. The owners of these bones were peerless powerhouses who once suppressed one side. Do you see the blood-red formations beneath them? That is merely the divine power from their past lives, sealed within their bones!"

"Because this place was sealed, over time, these deadly formations were created. Stay far away from them; even an unparalleled Xuanzun would perish on contact!" Xia Xinyu said, after a long contemplation, warning them as she looked at a formation.

The fact that many bone fragments survived the Battle of Changsheng City attested to the immense power of their former owners.

The Battle of Changsheng City was the most terrifying battlefield in the Eastern Remote region and the pivotal battle where the Immortal Lord pacified the Eastern Remote region!

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed from the depths!

"Let's go! Let's see what it is!"

Xia Xinyu looked towards the depths of the plain, where divine power surged violently, causing the void to shatter inch by inch.

The four traversed hundreds of miles through the void and saw several beings locked in a desperate, bloody battle ahead. Space was being shattered, yet Dian Wei and the other two noticed that the ground of the battlefield remained completely intact, not even a crack appearing.

"It's the supreme beings from the four great families: the Zhan family, the Jiang Zuo aristocratic family, the Chu family, and the Gu family. It seems we haven't gone astray!"

Xia Xinyu observed the intense battle ahead and said softly, "This land, having endured the Battle of Changsheng City, was inherently tempered and is incredibly stable. Even beings in the Supreme realm, even unparalleled Xuanzun beings, might not be able to shatter this place!"

Boom!

Countless terrifying auras, none weaker than Chu Sheng of the Chu family, clashed in the void. This battle could be considered a peak confrontation of the Supreme realm in the current Three Thousand Dao Provinces!

In the fierce battlefield, every move was a killing strike aimed at the opponent, causing the earth to rumble and shake. Suddenly, a white-haired being unleashed a saber strike, which was shattered by another being. A wisp of saber intent fell into a bone fragment and, unnoticed by everyone, acted like a key, activating the formation at the foot of the bone!

With a thunderous roar, the several figures engaged in the fierce battle were slammed into the ground, and a formidable aura enveloped the entire area.

Even Dian Wei and the other three were pressed into the ground, unable to move an inch. From the bone emerged a terrifying figure.

The figure had a dark blue face, with dense sideburns. Though its face was human-like, its mouth resembled an eagle's beak, and its pair of red eyes were curved like sabers.

In its massive hand, it held a saber that gleamed with radiance, still stained with blood.

This ethereal figure, emerging from the blood-red formation, swept its gaze, shattering the sky for ten thousand miles. With a flash of its saber, it cleaved through the heavens.

"What is this thing?"

The void crackled with energy. Several supreme beings from the Azure Dragon Palace, Black Tortoise Hall, Fallen Immortal Dynasty, and White Tiger Pavilion, who had followed closely, were stunned as they gazed at the ethereal figure. Furthermore, countless powerful supreme beings were pinned to the ground, immobile.

The ethereal figure that emerged cast its eyes upon the newly arrived supreme beings, and they instantly dissipated, dying on the spot as if evaporating into gas.

At this moment, all the beings suppressed by divine power on the ground trembled, their hearts filled with uncertainty. A single glance had caused supreme beings to perish, and an aura erupted, further pressing down on all present.

Especially those in the midst of the battle, each of them a supreme prodigy who had dominated their era, none inferior to Chu Sheng.

In the distant sky, Wang Zhuo, leading several figures, traversed the void. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he halted. Gazing towards the end of the sky, Wang Zhuo's heart trembled: "Unparalleled Xuanzun!!"

It wasn't just him. Beings rushing from all directions, those with a modicum of sense, immediately stopped, not daring to advance a single step. The terrifying aura had blanketed the area for a full three hours.

The figure that had appeared stood in the void, looked at everything before it, and let out a long sigh before scattering into starlight in all directions. The bone fragment and the blood-red formation were utterly annihilated.

"What realm was that powerful being in?"

The divine power pressing down on them vanished. Long Ju, pale-faced, lay on the ground, still hesitant to move, and asked softly.

"Just an unparalleled Xuanzun who perished here in ancient times. We are quite lucky; if a Creation Divine Venerate had emerged, we would have all perished here!"

Xia Xinyu, still prone on the ground, looked into the distance. All the beings remained motionless, waiting silently. After an hour, someone finally stood up and sped towards the deeper regions.

The several figures who had been fighting earlier exchanged cautious glances, then surveyed the scattered bone fragments, abandoned their battle, and proceeded deeper.

"Yo!"

"Xia Xinyu, I never expected you to be ahead of me!"

Wang Zhuo's figure appeared in the void, looking at Xia Xinyu and the other three, who had just stood up, and said softly.

"Wang Zhuo, what, do you want to settle this with me here?"

Xia Xinyu smiled faintly.

"Hmph! You're lucky this time! Let's go!"

Wang Zhuo's face turned cold, and with a furious roar, he led the beings behind him and traversed towards the depths.

"Why are there two massive craters here? Look, in the four directions of southeast, northwest!!"

Half an hour later, as Xia Xinyu and the other three reached the innermost core of the sealed land, Yang Youji said urgently.

In the core of the sealed land, there were indeed two enormous craters. To the southeast, northwest, and four cardinal directions of these two giant pits, stood four complete and undamaged colossal bone structures!
